Claiming the Corner Office: Executive Leadership Lessons for Nurses

Review
This book is first rate and long overdue. Curran and Fitzpatrick are, at their core, passionate teachers, and Claiming the Corner Office is a must-read for every nurse planning a career of consequence. They write to inspire and guide current and future leaders to achieve at extraordinary levels. Illustrated with compelling stories, the book describes the need to plan while leaving room for serendipity. This book is useful on both a personal and professional level. --Sharon O Keefe President, University of Chicago Medical Center

If knowledge is power, then what group of health professionals is better equipped to reform the future U.S. health field than nurse executives? Claiming the Corner Office retains the flow of a well-told story, even while incorporating great amounts of technical know-how. Health care CEOs should make this required reading for all nurse managers. --Ken Bloem Executive Chairman, MedData, Inc. Board member, The Joint Commission

Curran and Fitzpatrick, authors of Claiming the Corner Office, provide nurse leaders with encouragement to take bold actions. Their first-of-its-kind book includes real-world success strategies and pearls of wisdom from nurse executives who have claimed the corner office. These success stories motivate nurse leaders to stop doubting their own abilities, so they too can rightfully claim the corner office. I'd advise nurse leaders to use this book as a road map to the corner office. --Beth A. Brooks, PhD, RN, FACHE President, Resurrection University
